I’ve gotten some great feedback on the piano bench – great as in positive, but also great as in helpful. A few folks mentioned that if, indeed, the bench is flipped over, the surface that gets put on the floor will most likely get scratched up without protection of some sort. Also, the open shelves would make it difficult to flip over. It seems more likely at this point that it’ll look symmetric but really not be invertible – the top may have shelves, but it also could have a hinged storage area more like a “regular” piano bench.

I’m not a huge fan of rankings or ratings when it comes to competitive games or sports, but they can be fun sometimes. My Scrabble rating arrived – it’s 950. Not too shabby.
